Noticed a camp site on the right hand site about half way to the end of the rd, two weekends ago saw a few campers there so as we were suffering from watching the AB game the night before thought we would have an easy explore. We parked the car and started off up the ridge, which we found was marked with pink tape to the top and over the other side a couple of kms in. We didn't spot any thing on the way in and so we cut off the ridge and sidled around the various gullies heading back for the road. There was a small amount of sign but not nearly as much as we had seen on our last trip.
About 500m from Clements rd on the way back I heard a twig break and signaled my mate to stop. I spotted what I thought was a resting deer, grey shape 50m down but dismissed it as being too obvious especially as we wern't being particularly quite, it was stationary and looked a bit like a log as well.
I continued down the hill and next thing the log jumped up and shot away, a mature Sika stag , backed up by some clumped droppings and a couple of nicely worn trees where he had been scraping his antlers a couple of weeks ago.
Its still worth a look as there are a few deer roaming around. We will go back to a different spot in a couple of weeks time, this spot must be well used judging by the worn track and various tapes hung on the tree branches.
